Plz retweet: Susan Jones just showed me these wonderful depression-era (1920s) Parisian broadsides and newsletters in the bindings of these theses. Someone NEEDS this evidence! Email her if it's you: @UNCLibrary

To be explicit, this is a real question! I think it's a burn, but I want it to be a burn, so I want to figure out how to be more certain.

Is this a burn? Or rust? Or?

My notation has gone from the overwhelming "stitching indicates individual issue in two overlapping sets 42, 18, 50, 2, 44, 3, 45, 16" to "stitching (42, 42, 21, 89) and bundle of nos. 1–12 (56, 47, 49, 60)" (Two separate examples.).

I think it might have been a storage form, since the individually numbered issues don't have much dust-staining. Has anyone every seen twelve pamphlets pamphlet stitched together from the 17c?.

Thrilling! The stabbing in this volume supports that the individually numbered issues 1-12 were separately pamphlet stitched, then stitched as a bundle of all twelve, before being bound in a volume with all twenty-two.
